The presentation was really engaging even when talking about politics.

I didn't know too much about this historical topic and picked a lot of interesting tidbits of situation at the time. On one hand there seems to be this emotional undertone to the entire episode, this seems to build on the dramatics of it all. It is interesting and satisfying but I can decide my emotional responses without sudden musical crescendos and sudden dramatic pauses. At the same time it makes the retelling much more exciting than it most likely could have been like in the actually events. I would recommend if you want learn about the human history relating to this particular individual and this movement.
